BETFAIR MASTERS

Yes mate.

10 table tourni. (90 runners) although they expect 300 Danish players to turn up with minutes to spare.

£1000 entry, with a guaranteed £4000 prizepool.

Sorrel Mizzi playing on tables 1,4,7 and 3.

Greek team playing together on every table.

5 minute clock with blinds starting at 300/50 (10,000 starting stack)

I did email Betfair to find out exactly where the location is and what the start time was, but they mailed back saying that due to the Data Protection Act they couldn't give me those details.

Without doubt the cleverest and funniest post I've seen on here.

rflmao :)

Nail on Head from J! Brilliant

I guess you decided against the job then JPJ, lol.

lol JPJ,

Had reply from them, Just waiting for more info

Doubt I'll be going anyway

Don`t forget if you go to check out the bar with a balcony that looks over Leicester Square ;-)

:^0
Genius....

:^0 :^0 :^0 :^0 :^0 @JPJ

JPJ :)

i didnt think it was funny





































it was freakin hilarious!!!! :D :D :D

LMFAO

Have received the details, not sure if i can go yet tho

Just waiting for reply giving more info, Cos the link they sent was a brilliant link with the betair logo on. lol

Shame if theres no cash alternative (Which I very well doubt) Or the possibility to sell it and let someone else try

Why would the greatest want to sell his sit? you're 1.01 to win it!!

i'd like to play though tbf I don't play that much on the site anymore. When I did though I was never invited to these anyway.

Had a free bar last year :-)

Cos its approx 200 miles from manchester to london

Oh no james beckton

And its a free bar this year too

80 entrants starting with 4,000 ***** Looks like a good game. But there is NO cash alternative, Nor am I able to transfer / Sell seat

I'd have to travel 200 miles, And possibly be in london for upto 3 days as I'd have to leave the day before the game. So it looks like it's down to 79 entrants already and maybe less if others dont go

But with no cash alternative or options to transfer / Sell the seat to another player, It looks like it's going to waste

From

5LEEPWALKER (THE GREATEST)

Could you not offer to sing at The Hilton in exchange for a few nights B&B? ;)

What torney is this sleepwalker? how did u qualify? And why would you have to spend 3 days there? How long did u queue for the X factor?

surely you could find 3 days in between auditions? PS - train is 2 hours 15 mins now, and can be had for less than £50 return.

Does the game clash with the X factor final?

:^0 JPJ

might clash with him winning leaderboards... why leave the house when u can stay in, play 80 hrs a week and have a 100 dollar bonus...
no brainer..

I was invited with an EXCLUSIVE VIP INVITATION,
(Used the caps just like they did) lol

The game was on betfair, And the tournament propers live at the empire casino london

I won the seat after coming 7th in the 20K Betfair masters

Whats the days spent with the x.factor, And how long I spent in a que got to do with it

------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day some people on this forum might actually type something normal for a change

is it true u have a poster of simon cowell on your bedroom wall?

and one of john and edward behind your door?

Will Young on ceiling

and a blow-up Jazzy John in your bed :)

I thought you could convert your Betfair points into luxury Air Miles. You must have enough that they will blast you down south from a cannon or something.

pmsl i think theres a few x factor wannabe's who need to be blown out of a cannon

I wrote to tell them I couldn't be bothered going to London too - No reply back.

Seems like quite a few might not turn up, Good opportunity for the ones that do go

I spied with my little eye, And noticed that the next day is the $30 k gtd

Hmmmm, Oh BETFAIR !!!!

anyone going from Sheffield or Nottingham area

i could do with a lift

had to be the weekend before pay day doh, can't really afford to stay over this weekend

One day some people on this forum might actually type something normal for a change

One day indeed. You could lead by example.

lol GoingSoftTooHard,

If you get that lift, Get em to divert to manchester there and back and I'll pay the petrol. lol

lol, Had to add to your cheeky comment

But they do say that you don't get, If you don't ask

In this case I think you might not get, If you do ask

Just got my connection back

All the best to all playing in the 20k befair masters

Does anyone know what was the name of the alias's that won / Placed ?

i was there on sat and it was a complete farce, on the final 2 tables 16 left, 3 betfair staff on one table and none on the other, being fair they had played well, but apparently they had made it known on their table that wherever they came they couldnt cash so just to take it easy as the top 12 would cash (normally 9)dependent on if they were still in, the other table were unaware of this and when 2 went out on that table to leave 14, one player went over and didnt play a hand until 2 more had been eliminated, one blinded out on the bf staff table and one on the other table, then the guy told the table what was going on. Also there was more than the people there who won entry via the freerolls, some bf staff mates were there plus people who had been invited to haydock, ascot the week before, they had been asked along to try and made it quite clear that they dont play bf anymore but get all these freebies as they know people and they are wanted back. apart from that the people, bf staff were great and the free booze was flowing all night.

the guys who went out between 17 and 12 who didnt know were moaning like hell but no-one took any notice and were told basically that it was the same for all but when they pointed out the discrepency with the bf staff on one table and none on the other and asked the playeres if they were aware and no one on that table was apart from the player who had gone over, they got a 'sorry about that thought everyone knew', ye like they announced it at the beginning. NOT

I was there and throughly enjoyed it. First time I've ever played live. I went out in either 16th or 17th and if I'd had realised it paid to 12th I might have played differently, but I think naivety got the better of me. It's easy to see stack sizes and positions on a computer, not so easy if you've never played live before. I made one donk play and lost half my 12,000 stack, then had to push with qt suited and got called behind me with AJ which held up and I was gone. The hospitality was amazing tho and it was all very friendly. Great buffet, free booze all day - not that I like that sort of thing ;)
Many thanks to Betfair, and, those who live relatively close who qualified and didn't go, you must want your brains testing! All that hospitality and $20k in prize money, all for nothing? It's a no brainer. (rockme)

this is what really annoys me about betfair i have probably been one of their most loyal customers and have rak ed them thousands and thousands yet i have never beeen invited to a live tourney i have never been invited to a cricket match i have never been invited to the races! in fact ive never even had a phone call or an email!LOL i know quite a few ppl who rak e a hell of a lot less than me and they get invites! maybe now ive stopped plying betfair poker they will make some effort but somehow i very much doubt it

I didn't think I'd be reading about any farce, And also wasn't aware there'd be any betfair staff playing. But I was informed that there'd be 80 entries in the game with 4,000 starting ***** So I suppose any of the opposition being staff shouldn't really make a difference. But that seems a bit dodgy what I was reading about the farce

spackers u a welcome to come on the jolly boys outing to west end....

I believe the betfair staff all had bountys on thir heads - $400 a time so more value for everyone else. They couldnt win any prize.

That is correct.

I had a great time....

A great day out, met a bunch of interesting people against a backdrop of
a Free bar and poker tournement. Definitely one of life's Good days.


Please pass on my thanks to Rachel, Simon and all the Betfair staff who organised it and a double thankyou for inviting me.



P.S.
I'm so surprised to see somebody refer to it as a farce !? I suspect you approach life's journey with an extreme case of "Glass half empty" syndrome. I'm glad I'm not you.

P.P.S.
Hello Rockme, ( I sat on your right on table 6 for a few hours )


P.P.P.S.
I raise.

How do they decide who to invite on these shindigs?

They pick people who only play freerolls or never play above 5.5$

Ah well, maybe they can organise a similar event for PAYING CUSTOMERS next time.

Nice meeting you Escapee and I echo your thoughts.
